Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: Dock 1.6

Sorry.

HLdan said:
Fantastic! :D Now that you are coming back to the MAC stop spelling it "MAC". It's Mac, as in iMac, Macbook, Mac Pro. Another company owns the spelling with all caps. I'm not being picky, it makes a difference.

Sorry. I'll spull mac rite next tyme. I'd hate to have someone on this site not know that I'm talking about an IMAC or a MaC pRo. :eek:
 
Whats the point?

I don't understand the point of stacks... sure they look cool, but if you can't right-click on items, then it's completely useless.

Well as expected I don't like it. I don't like the dock anyway. Takes screen space away from me. OSX has the Dock and a whole spread along the top. Making it 3D will make OSX popular. Like the iPhone I owned for 14 days it spins, it looks cool but hell some of us here use our computers for work as well as fun. Nothing wrong with consumers having an OS for themselves but I'd pay extra to get rid of all the bells so that my expensive cpu/gpu will not be used for all this rubbish.

I really don't want frufru. Give me the fastest OS out there. Ease of us does not mean it has to spin like a kids game. Are we Americans so childish? Come on guys Jobs taste is one of a baby boomer who will not grow up. He doesn't use his computers for work. He plays with them. We have to put up with his taste? It's worse than MS ... okay as bad.:)

I had to go back to using my powerbook G4 1.33 12 inch after using my Dell and OSX burns up so much power by comparison to the fast and speedy XP and it's not just CD2, it also works fast on a Pentium. Horrible OS but at least it gets out of the damn way.

I realize I am in the minority but I hope Apple is not counting on faster chips to pay for all this garbage. When I use XP on my MacBook Pro it's fast and makes Tiger look like a cluttered slug.

Well I guess I can just buy Apple hardware and run windows:(

Take a bong hit and lighten up, dude. If Windoze is that great, feel free to switch back.
 
Is it easier to back up my files on my macbook before moving to leopard? Or should I just upload Leopard as is?

I'm sure you wrote all of that just to ruffle feathers and get people to quote you and I will.
Dude get yourself a plain old Thinkpad and Windows 98 and you're all set. Obviously you prefer to live a boring computing life and this set up will do you well.
Also you need to understand that the world lives on computers for everything. We no longer need them just to do exciting things like spreadsheets and corporate presentations with charts, woo hoo:rolleyes:

News flash, computers are a big part of our entertainment lives, we use them more than TV or telephones so graphics and a beautiful OS play big so wake up or go back to Windows 98, I think the latter works best for you. :p
P.S You talk about Mac OS X being a slow OS, tried Vista lately???
 
I'm going to use Leopard as an opportunity/excuse to buy a new 160GB laptop drive and put my existing drive on ice for a while...

I am planing on being one of the ones to order up leopard for my macbook the moment it becomes available. I will also make a backup image of tiger before installing. The worst case senario is i find there are some issues with leopard so i decide not to use it yet. Meanwhile I will still have the brand spanking new leopard disk around ready and willing to go once an update becomes available.

Its not like any money will be wasted as leopard will be around for awhile ;)

Could you please explain to me what a "High Priority" bug is because it's not a classification in radar.

The last seed mentioned one issue.I have some bugs reported and none have ever been classified as "High Priority" by me or Apple engineers.
Click to expand...

Don't equate priority with severity. Something could be of trivial severity but high priority. Remember this is Apple. Attention to detail and all that. Steve could look at some minor UI issue and say "That's GOT to be fixed." Minor, but high priority.

If you want to view it mathematically (which I tend to do!) then you can view Overall Importance = Severity x Priority. Apple don't publish OI. You report S when you file a bug. They determine P. :)

be well

Great math..

If S=>CRASH then P=HIGH

If S=< barely visible slightly off-round corner then P=LOW


Unless of course one is working of the Final Release.:)

Err.... that button is called "Command" (or CMD for short if you like), not "Apple", so CMD + TAB is correct, "Apple" + TAB is wrong.
Click to expand...

You are correct, that it is called "Command", but are dismissing the fact that it had been called "Apple" + tab for many years by AppleCare and users alike.
 
I always had a love-hate relationship with the dock. if you use a big monitor then the Dock its perfect, but on a 17" monitor the Dock it's always in the middle of your everyday tasks, yes you can hide it but it cost you time everytime you need to put the mouse at the bottom just to select other app, of course you can use :apple: + Tab but then again it keeps you out of productivity. as I said Big Monitor = good Dock, Small Monitor = bad Dock.
I hope that this new version with the Fan and OVERFLOW kid of app feature helps instead of damage the user friendly experience. I've been using Over Flow Since its debut and I love it. and somthing tells me that I will continue using it also in Leopard... Categories option missing... anyone?

I'm liking the idea of the stacks, what if any folder in Finder could be fanned out like a stack? Wouldn't that be a very efficient way to just take a peak inside a folder? To move files aswell, just "stack browse" your way to the folders of interest in one single Finder window and drag the file from one stack to the other. I haven't used it though and don't know exactly how it behaves, just thought that stacks might have been useful in areas other than the Dock...?
Click to expand...

That would be cool. It annoys me to have to look inside each folder
It would be great if you could alter settings to see all folders inside folders inside folders with one click :)

Then you'd want to be getting Debian or Gentoo.

Naaaw! :eek:


I had been running Debian on my machines(and still do) but I had been lusting for a Mac for years; finally got one(actually, a couple) just in the last month. Something special about Macs, very nice! ;)
 
BKKbill said:
Really you are being picky. If you google MAC guess what comes up first, not that other company but apple. :p
Click to expand...
That's because Google is not case sensitive. MAC stands for Media Access Control, it's for the MAC address. Also the truck and the makeup company.
That's why Apple spells it Mac. But only the Windows switchers seem to have a problem spelling it correctly but never seem to spell windows the way I just did.
No worries, keep spelling it MAC, it helps to determine who are the true Mac users and the Mac switchers who bought the Mac to use for Windows as well.
 
As in the Aqua scrollbars that apparently are still around.:apple:

Well there 'ya go! The voice of authority has spoken. :rolleyes:

So let me understand this, you're going to "buy it the day it comes out" but there is "no way in hell you will install it before 10.5.1." Hmmm.......so which is it? :rolleyes:
Click to expand...

Umm you do realize that you can buy something without installing it right? :rolleyes: And at what point did I EVER claim to be an authority? Its called an opinion. Wonderful things really. I means I don't have to agree with you, in any way, shape, or form.
Back to the purchase. I got my MS settlement check in the mail yesterday for $114. I've got the money. I'm not going to spend said money on anything else and the price of Leopard isn't going to go down.
I'll buy it, toss it on the shelf for 2 months, and when apple releases 10.5.1, $10 says it will be within 2 months of launch, I'll install it.
But I'm sorry Leopard feels like a rush job. When you slash features there IS a reason.

Adjective: picky 1. Exacting especially about details.

Well guess that makes me right at least twice. Don't get too bent. :p

Would Apple be pulling features from betas that are known to be in working order, to put back in for the final release? It would be a good way of controlling a tonne of screen shots of new features...
Click to expand...

That thought occurred to me, that some features that Apple has already tested as working may pulled for later release. I was really hoping something would be tied into the "Answering Machine" in iChat and the iPhone. Who knows what, but that would be interesting if Apple is indeed still keeping things secret, which is one of the reasons I thought I'd post that comment. Any thoughts?
 
Interesting article, makes me even more interested in Leopard. One question - the bit at the end of the article about conencting to servers - will I be able to connect to an FTP server through finder?
